Watch Gladiators UK: Preview

Short of de-aging Wolf, could the 2024 Gladiators reboot have got off to a better start? From charismatic contestants, pantomime villains in Viper (the scowly one whose bark seems to be much worse than his bite) and Legend (the gobby one), cheesy intros and lung-busting late twists, it's got it all, and if it’s a touch early to call it the top game show on British TV, it’s certainly already appointment viewing.

As well as paying tribute to the original by resurrecting the Hang Tough, Gauntlet and Duel – complete with giant cotton buds, of course – events, among others, the revival has also freshened things up with a handful of original challenges.

The new lineup of Gladiators includes a pair of 6ft 6in behemoths in bodybuilder Bionic and former rugby union and NFL player Apollo, a junior Commonwealth Powerlifting Championships titleist in Athena, and two-time Commonwealth Games gold medal-winning sprinter Nitro. 

Fire was the first woman to compete at both the summer and winter Olympics, Steel was crowned the UK’s Fittest Man in 2020, and Fury is a current rugby union player and former British jiu-jitsu champion. However, despite their bulging muscles, we’ve already seen that speed, agility and stamina can win out.

Bradley Walsh and his son Barney are on hosting duties, while Guy Mowbray is on commentary and Mark Clattenburg, Sonia Mkoloma and Lee Phillips are our referees. 

Contender ready! Gladiator ready! Find out all the details about the series below, including how to watch Gladiators UK online and stream every new episode from wherever you are.

How to watch Gladiators UK online in the UK

Gladiators UK made its long-awaited return to UK screens on Saturday, January 13. New episodes go out at 5.50pm GMT on Saturday evenings on free-to-air BBC One in the UK.

There will be 11 episodes in total and you'll be able to stream all of them live and on-demand through BBC iPlayer, which you can access on desktop and through a number of devices via its app.

It's free to sign up for a BBC account. All you need is an email address, a UK postcode (e.g. W12 7RJ) and a valid TV licence.

Away from the UK? Use a VPN using the instructions below to access BBC iPlayer like you would at home

How to watch Gladiators UK from anywhere

If you're a UK citizen on vacation or working overseas, you can still watch Gladiators UK just as you would at home. 

While BBC iPlayer is for licence fee-paying Brits and blocks access from IP addresses outside of the UK, there's a handy piece of software called a VPN which can change your IP address to make it look like you're accessing streaming services from any country in the world. 

For example, UK citizens in the States can subscribe to a VPN, join a UK based server and tune into all the programmes on BBC iPlayer from anywhere in the world, just like you would back home.

Watch Gladiators UK as if you were at home with a VPN
Of all the VPNs out there that can help change your IP address, ExpressVPN is the very best around for streaming. And not just BBC iPlayer, either... it's great for watching other streaming services when overseas, too. It runs on pretty much every device you can think of, has superb 24/7 customer service if you need help, and even has a 30-day money back guarantee so that you can try it out risk-free.

How To Use A VPN To Unblock Streaming Services:

1. Choose your ideal VPN and install - as we say, ExpressVPN is the total package when it comes to great streaming VPNs

2. Connect to a server - most good VPNs make it super simple to connect to a server in the UK or whatever country you require

3. Stream away! - login to your streaming service – BBC iPlayer in this instance - and stream like you were in your home country

Can I watch Gladiators UK in the US and Canada?

Gladiators UK doesn't have a broadcaster in the US or Canada, and at the time of publication it seems that there are no plans in place to take the show across the Atlantic.

However, if you're a Brit in the US or Canada right now, you can always port yourself back home and watch the show using a VPN.

Can I watch Gladiators UK in Australia?

There are no plans to show Gladiators UK in Australia as of yet, because an all-Aussie reboot of the show started airing on Network 10 and the free 10Play service on January 15. 

There's no trick to streaming shows on 10 Play, just head to its website or download the app available on smartphones, tablets and a wide range of other streaming devices.

Can I watch Gladiators UK in New Zealand?

New Zealand doesn't have an official broadcaster for Gladiators UK at present, either.

Of course, if you're a Brit traveling in New Zealand and want to catch all the action from back home, you can do so with the help of a VPN.
